SCREAMING

I always loved how music made me feel and every time I try to embark on the new me, I always result back to where it all began. Growing up in the early 90's when the evolution of ska and grundge were at its peak and Kurt Kobain pondered between the neadle or the pipe, I was growing up and finding that idenity that makes me who I am. I am the one that finds the inner beauty in entertainment, commernce and art alike.

For the longest time we were wondering who Tokio Hotel was. I think for a second, we thought it was a new hotel in Tokyo but then we found out via the MTV video music awards several months ago that they are in fact a new emerging artist from Germany on Interscope Records. Androgynous lead singer Bill Kauiltz and bass player Tom Kaulitz who has perfect dreads have produced an amazing record. We love it!

Surface 2 Everywhere

Wednesday night we ran into our friend Michael at Bardot who always is dressed to the nines. His shoes were by French company Surface 2 Air who Lainie told me about weeks ago. The fusion of fashion, music, art all uniting as one is exactly what this company portrays. The young elite filled the room while we waited patiently to watch Soko. Smoke filled the air, cigarette after cigarette and my glass of Cabernet was actually good. Mickey DJ'ed the night and when the clock stuck midnight, we got in Lainie's BMW and drove home. While this post is probably starting to sound like the words of Ellis' "Less The Zero", that is probably because we started our morning by reading the first 40 pages. Ironically, I visioned my self and my friends as the characters within. It definitely brought flashbacks circa 2005. But then again, "That was back in the day."

What If Brian Turned The Sky Red?

What if the sky was red, the grass was blue and the ocean was orange. We often like to fantasize about various possibilities and believe in the thought process that anything is possible. This past weekend, we visited Brian Lichtenberg's fashion show at Box Eight. Known for designing clothes for artists as Santogold, MIA, Sam Sparro et al, his show radiated with space-like art formations and creations that are ready for the stage. That or the trendsetting bunch. 

Wear: Brian Lichtenberg 

Next weekend we are off to the Fabulous Festival in Las Vegas. Creators known as Art of Dance are bring a "Love" like festival to Vegas which will seamlessly unite Music + Nightlife. 

While in Vegas, I will be interviewed for Mojo Republik who we are exited to collaborate with. Stayed tuned from more details...

And for the ears, listen to Armin van Burren

Unholy Symmetry

Keane's new record is fantastic. Actually we're downloading and listening to it now. Very happy the lead singer successfully completed rehab and is back to recording great tunes. It's very Bowie/ Sting inspired. A completely fresh sound that is new with a late 70's edge. 

Download: Perfect Symmetry by Keane 

Unholy Matrimony is a Los Angeles based clothing line designed by Brett Westfall. We're a fan! I can't seem to find his 2008/09 collection however for the meantime, enjoy the 07 throwback. The shirts are pretty neat.

And a campus to roam the halls while listening to Keane and wearing your new shirt would be:

The Many Colors Of Scrubs

This past week has been a utter cluster of hospital visits, headaches and Dr. Dre. My mother was ill for seven days, scaring my sister and I to death. The highlight of our visits to the hospital though was, the Dolce and Gabbana Newsboy Cap that flattered all the nurses that passed me by. Spending several days in Beverly Hills, resulted in running into many friends at Urth Cafe and reminiscing with Mickey in front of Bank of America. Riley my dog joined in many of our adventures including Barneys where we got to play with the Virtue phone. Call me shallow..., people actually spend 7G's on a piece of metal.  To say the least, it was all very exhausting but we closed our deal with Dre and the Beats will thump starting November 1. 

My compilation, Ron Herman After Dark is in production and we can't wait to introduce it to the world January 6, 2009. It was previewed today at the Melrose shop and people seemed to like! 

My head is in so much pain from the overly dried cupcake I ate from Joan's on 3rd. LA in NY is not the same and NY in NY; it's all in the water. 

Listen to "Human" by The Killers. It will fit nicely on any mix you make for yourself. 

and for those of you who need something a bit more obscure:

LAX TO PARIS TO BERLIN

What is it about Paris that is so bitter sweet? 

I arrived via first class Lufthansa, last Wednesday afternoon. It was 45 degrees outside and the Dunhill I was smoking went numb after 2 minutes. The faces that passed me by were beautiful and what I would do to spend more time here. 

I am eating steak frite, drinking 50ML of Bordeaux and people watching. The Dior scent from Colette smells like Tripp. That does remind me to call him upon my return. I have decided to wear nothing but black from here on however,  I doubt that will be executed as I own nothing black. 

I observe the hundreds of faces that stand next to me on the underground between Saint-Philippe du- Roule and the Voltaire exit. I am listening to "The Logic Of Pleasure" by Blank + Jones. Every morning we endured a single shot macchiato from Startbucks and H&M does come in a size EUR 44. According to FHM Collections Magazine from Germany, the jacket I purchased is part of the latest trend. 

Berlin was beautiful. Dark, minimal and to the point.
